This popped up so I posted a review about my feelings on the place which are valid but out of date. I used to really like your place so hope it is open again soon and back to how it was at the start.

I have Multiple Sclerosis and needed the toilet as matter of urgency. The female owner/manager was very compassionate and empathetic & welcomed me to use the toilet. Her kindness and understanding really touched me. So much so my husband and I stayed and had drinks.

Group of 7 friends visited Bert &Ernie's to celebrate a couple of BIG birthdays. Lovely bar stylishly decorated and comfortable. We had excellent service with delicious cocktails at very reasonable prices. Alex was the perfect host and the whole evening was very enjoyable and we all agreed we would definitely plan another visit soon 🍹

I visited this bar on a night out around 6 months or so ago and as soon as I walked through the door, we were told by the bar man that we had to leave, to this day I still have no idea what this was about but rest assured I will not be visiting again after this.

It was our first visit to the bar, and we were looking forward to watch the live singer, which was a bonus for a Sunday afternoon. However, it almost felt like I was sitting in someone’s front living room. Bar staff and their ‘friends’ behaved inappropriately as though they were working from their own kitchen and not a public place, serving customers. The bar woman constantly swore to customers, made jokes and it was extremely uncomfortable sitting amidst the chaos. The bar woman was loud and very overpowering! The bar itself is chic and decorated to a high standard however the bar woman and another lady who I’m presuming is the bar manager sat down with her leg plonked up against a chair and this didn’t quite meet the standards of the bar itself. Very disappointed to say the least. When you are out enjoying a drink you don’t want to be a part of the bar staff’s conversations with their friends etc however we were made to feel quite awkward. Our cocktails were served with absolutely no attention to detail. Fingers and thumbs all over the glasses. The red wine covered the outside of the glass, dripping down. I can firmly say unless there are new staff employed I would be very reluctant to go back. Drinks aren’t cheap and your faced with a very low calibre of staff which really DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH A STUNNING DECORATED BAR! Aberdare is very lucky to have such a fabulous bar however I don’t foresee this bar lasting long!! The singer was absolutely brilliant.. the only positive thing during our visit!

Kieron the cocktail wizz was fantastic, he even tailored cocktails to our taste and even made time in the busy rush to come and sit and talk to us explaining in detail how things were done and why, I take my hat off to the man he makes wonderful drinks and is a really nice guy to talk to, the place is small so get there in good time as its reputation fills its seats quickly, we are excited to see a new menu and will be travelling up from Devon as soon as we can to try it. Highly recommend his margaritas👌

Awful atmosphere… made to feel very unwelcome! Cocktail was great, but didn’t enjoy it as felt rushed…… very few options “on tap” bar staff couldn’t care less whether you are there or not. Avoid if you want to enjoy your evening, best spend your hard earned elsewhere

Shame I have to give a star at all! Extremely rude ‘manager’ on duty with attitude. Abusive and aggressive messages sent to me after I dared to complain about her attitude and question the seemingly extortionate bill. I was then banned! I have never been spoken to and treated in such an appalling manner. Such childish behaviour and certainly not the way to run a hospitality business. Don’t believe all the positive reviews as they remove any negative comments where possible! Avoid at all costs.

Saturday lunchtime Sunday lunchtime no chance? 5ish opening and not at all on certain days. I like the place but it's never open, then you have the ongoing spat on FB. New manager needed desperately. Gone from one of my fave places to somewhere I'm sick of. Avoid at all costs, this place was just what Aberdare needed but they are doing a great job of doing themselves in.

Lovely atmosphere and the best coffee, absolutely delicious. Friendly and approachable staff, It has earned it's reputation as the better venues in Aberdare. Due to its draw, get in early as it's quite a small place.

Don’t go here unless you want to receive bad customer service from the staff & abuse from the brunette with glasses, she’s clearly someone who can’t take criticism, I suggested really politely that the mojitos could use a little more sugar in them & since I did that she was incredibly rude to our table, giving dirty looks to my family, we spent HUNDRED$ just to be treated terribly!! NONE of the staff social distanced from anyone, they didn’t even wear masks either! At one point some random man and woman wearing tracksuits came to our table to serve us, leaning over us with no mask on, I have no idea whether they worked there or not but they didn’t seem like staff, it was really unprofessional and just a over all weird experience to say the least. Oh and we called the bar to complain and the same women we rang to complain about answered, swearing at us on the phone and being really aggressive!! She refused for us to talk to someone else such as the owners to complain about her, she claims the owners are her parents (not sure I believe that) but she clearly thinks she can get away with doing what she wants to customers and nice people. She also used an excuse and said she was ill, why the hell wasn’t she wearing a mask if she was ill? And she didn’t sanitise before making drinks either. Wish we took our service else where... the one waitress was lovely, she had red hair. If the woman who was horrible to us didn’t work here it would be a vast improvement!

This place is just what Aberdare needs. Love it keep the pints of Defender coming. I'd love to see a quality rum on the top shelf but other than that there a great selection of drinks and something different to the usual pints of Carling etc served up by every other pub.

This place is a real asset to aberdare! A real cosy and friendly atmosphere day and night! In the day tea/coffee and cake and snack selection is divine and by night the cocktails are refreshing, fresh and to a high standard! Something aberdare has been missing! The decor is on point and bang on trend. Love going here and I hope the business continues to flourish.

Turned away at 11.20 even tho their information states open until 12. Party of four of us just got off the train from Cardiff after a fantastic meal, looking to finish the night with some cocktails. Very rude girl behind bar refused us entry. Shame because we probably would have spent an easy80-100 pounds there.

Located in the Old Co-Op Bank, Bert and Ernie's is something that Aberdare has been crying out for. Whilst it's not cheap, B&E's provides excellent coffee and snacks, a wide range of wine sold by the glass and some decent beer. All round winner!!

After our visit in November we decided to see how things had progressed. Sadly unable to try the wraps as they were out of stock for the basics, No cheese, ham, chicken. No wrap for me! Again it is a quirky measure for a tea to have a pot of hot water with a cup and the tea bag. But at least fill the pot to the top with water. Not half way again🤣 Sugar cubes are nice, but how about tongs ? Rather than watching people using their fingers and not the obligatory teaspoon.

Very nice new bar in the metropolis that is The Dare. Lovely atmosphere and great selection of gins. Would like a more ranging beer selection hence the 4 rather than 5 review. Is a little more pricey than the average pub in these parts but this is more than made up for by the atmosphere and vibe of the pub. I understand a restaurant is coming soon

The best place to have a drink and relax in aberdare. I'm not a big alcohol drinker, but this place has a range of coffees and teas, cakes and snacks (anything you could want) alongside an unbelievable range of spirits & cocktails. The atmosphere here is great: it's one of the few places I can relax with my kindle and don't feel like I'm on a conveyor belt being moved along for the next customer. The staff are the highlight, and the real advantage over any local competition: they're always a pleasure to speak to and, when they're busy, expertly balance this with keeping speedy customer service levels.

I used to love this restaurant years ago, so persuaded my husband whilst visiting Pontypridd after living away for many years to have lunch here. An absolute disaster!! The Manager looked stressed and didn’t know where to sit us (or the couple in front of us) and eventually we were shown to the area upstairs. A number of people arrived after us, we chose to sit at one of the tables laid with a nice white tablecloth. Eventually the waitress arrived -but moved us to a bare table explaining that the table we were at was for “afternoon tea” only! We were finally asked for our order after other people had given theirs. The couple in front of us having almost the same non-existent service-then walked out. We gave our order for our first and main course together with a request for wine to accompany it. After half an hour the waitress having served other tables then finally brought our two glasses of water …and gave them to the next table! We asked if we could at least have our previously ordered glasses of wine whilst waiting…. Still Nothing arrived! We then reluctantly decided to follow our fellow diners example and leave which is what we did. Such a disappointment! We will never go there again!

Called here this morning for a quick coffee break whilst out walking (keeping our steps up) and just wanted to say we were served by the most lovely young man, I didn’t take his name but he was very tall with brown hair and a beard, he was really kind and so I wanted to leave a positive post for him, he deserves some recognition for being so helpful and pleasant.
